There was plenty of excitement surrounding Baltimore native Tavon Austin in the 2013 NFL draft. The St. Louis Rams even moved up eight spots via a trade to grab the Dunbar alum with the No. 8 overall pick. But excitement turned to discouragement as Austin failed to consistently become a factor in the Rams' offense or special teams. But he had his moments like the 138-receiveing yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Indianapolis Colts. The scattered moments of success in 2013 make Austin a player to watch this year. He will have a few months to bulk up, review film and return next season with the experience necessary to make an impact. -- Monique Jones, Ravens/Football Editor
